PHRM 2021 Keynote: Rebuilding and Reimagining Our Public Health Infrastructure by Dr. David Michaels
This keynote lecture was given by Dr. David Michaels for the Eighth Annual Public Health Research at Maryland conference on April 13, 2021. Dr. Michaels is an epidemiologist and professor at the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health and
author of The Triumph of Doubt: Dark Money and the Science of Deception.
Dr. Michaels has held sub-Cabinet Senate-confirmed public health positions in the administrations of both President Barack Obama (in which he was Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health, the longest serving OSHA Director in the agency's history) and President Bill Clinton (Assistant Secretary of Energy for Environment, Safety and Health). He is currently a member of the Biden-Harris COVID-19 Advisory Board.
Keynote Overview:
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed how our public health infrastructure, which has contributed to longer and healthier lives for millions of people, is badly fraying. This was true even before the Trump Administration’s rollbacks of public health and environmental standards and enforcement. A weak regulatory regime permitted the widespread usage of e-cigarettes by millions of teenagers and two crashes of a new model jet. Workplace and environmental exposure standards are weak or non-existent for many chemicals. In addition to COVID-19, we face numerous public health crises including climate change and increasingly severe weather events, a devastating epidemic of opioid overdoses and the possibility of a new infectious disease pandemic. Racial inequity and injustice exacerbate widespread health disparities. Because of the pandemic, repairing our public health infrastructure has become a national priority. Now is the time to examine the lessons of the past in order to boldly re-imagine our system and rebuild it in a way that will best protect the public’s health and environment.
